What's for Dinner Tonight

I tried a recipe I found online for dinner.....it was a HIT!! This is what is left after 6 kids went nuts on the pan

I did make a couple changes such as I added a can of Campbell's Cheddar Cheese Soup, I did not use instant rice....I cooked it fair and square only because in my house (of 11) I buy rice in bulk bags. I used a whole stick of butter, 4 small green onions, and I did not use process cheese....I used the real deal...mixed a couple handfulls of shredded cheese in cooked it at 425 degrees for about 15 mins and then topped with a couple more handfuls and baked for another 15 or so. The one thing I did not add that I think would make it more yummy would be garlic.

OK so now I realize that I made more than 1 or 2 changes...but I am a "Dump" cook...you know the kind. I Dump whatever looks good in a pot and prays it comes out yummy....and it usually does.Ingredients2 cups water2 cups uncooked instant rice2 (10 ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup1/4 cup butter1 cup milk1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli1 small white onion, chopped1 pound processed cheese foodDirections1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 2.In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil.

Stir halfway through cooking to help cheese melt evenly.
